Today Kate and I discuss the first insane asylum in the U.S., Eastern State Hospital. Formerly known as the "Public Hospital" which was was established “for the support and maintenance of Idiots, Lunatics, and Other Persons of Unsound Minds”. We discuss Dr. Galt who was centuries ahead of his time and why I think the old museum and current hospital are haunted! So come on in, have a seat and squirrel off with us! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/hotmesswitchyexpress/messageSupport this podcast: https://anchor.fm/hotmesswitchyexpress/support
